The so-called invitation is better than a chance encounter, since it is also a kind of fate to meet on the south street of the city, which is full of people. He Zhi invited Wei Lai to travel with him according to his heart, and Wei Lai rarely refused other people's invitations, so he agreed with kindness.

Among this group of people, the most unhappy is Xi Qiu. She took a bite of the rock sugar gourd in her hand fiercely, and stared at Wei Lai with indignant eyes - this guy is really so annoying, he said bad things about Miss last time, and this time he has to eat the rock sugar gourd she bought for Miss! Do you dare not to appear in front of her young lady again?!

Being stared at by Xi Qiu's cold eyes, Wei Lai was actually quite embarrassed. In one hand, she was still holding a small wine jar brought out of the Wang family, and in the other hand was the rock sugar gourd that He Zhi had just stuffed...... Rock sugar gourd wine? It's really a strange combination, and I don't know how many eyes it attracted along the way. Especially when there is a beautiful woman full of books walking with her beside her, the combination is like the rock sugar gourd and the wine jar, which is full of disobedience.

Wei Lai was a little uncomfortable, but He Zhi was down-to-earth and generous. She was probably accustomed to the various eyes of the people around her, so she didn't take the curious and scrutinizing eyes of passers-by to heart, and she could still smile and joke at this time: "When we first met, I thought that General Xiao Wei was heroic, but I didn't want you to like food like rock sugar gourds." ”

At this time, Wei Lai was still thinking about the last time, although He Zhi never said that it was wrong when they met again, but she always remembered that she wanted to explain a thing or two, but before she could figure out how to speak, she was teased by He Zhi first.

This is just a trivial matter, and Wei Lai has always had a good temper, so naturally he will not be angry. She looked down at the sugar gourd in her hand, but couldn't help but smile: "I love to eat sweet and sour things since I was a child, and I really liked to eat this sugar gourd before." It's just that the last time I ate it, it was seven years ago. After a pause, he added: "Unfortunately, it's also the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

As early as when Wei Lai appeared, He Zhi could see that she was in a bad mood tonight, and her sullen appearance was incompatible with the lively scene around her. He Zhi is not an eventful person on weekdays, but maybe because of the special Mid-Autumn Festival, or maybe because of the difference in the person in front of her, she finally asked: "Are you homesick?" ”

In the same sentence, Wang Hu also asked earlier, and at that time, Wei Lai could still nod generously and admit that he was restrained. But this gentle and gentle words of He Zhi seemed to evoke a thousand feelings and sorrows in her, and she couldn't help but think of her mother, home, and her hometown......

Wei Lai didn't reply, but He Zhi was already keenly aware of the changes in the human feelings around him. On the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day, what can make people sentimental is that they can't be reunited in a foreign land. With He Zhi's intelligence, she naturally guessed such a result, and since she asked, she also wanted Wei Lai to confide in her, so that she would not be sad alone on such a day.

It's rare not to think about whether it is appropriate and whether it is overstepping, He Zhi said softly: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the city is full of joy." But I can see you're not happy. If so, can you tell me about your home? ”

Wei Lai raised his head when he heard this, and at a glance he bumped into He Zhi's soft gaze with concern, and his heart couldn't help but move. Maybe I really want to talk to someone about my homesickness for many years, or maybe it's because no one has ever treated her so gently, or maybe it's just the atmosphere, Wei Lai really wants to say something at this moment.

After a while, Wei Lai retracted his gaze, and a flat and soft voice slowly sounded: "My family is in a small town in the south, the town is not big and not rich, but most of the people in the town are simple. My family has seven or eight acres of paddy fields, and a ploughing cow, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, and life is dull and peaceful. It's just that my father died young, and my mother and I are the only ones in the family. In those years, my mother always treated me very well, but unfortunately I haven't seen her for seven years now, and I don't know how she has been doing all these years. ”

When He Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but speak: "General Xiao Wei, don't blame me for talking too much. Now that the war has been decided, you can be regarded as famous, since you are homesick and miss your mother, why don't you take leave, and then return to your hometown to bring her to the capital? ”

He Zhi asked, Wei Lai's expression was much more relaxed, and she smiled: "No need, my mother must not want to come." This morning, I have already handed over the resignation note, and when I get a reply, I can also be relieved and return home. ”

Wei Lai's identity is a mystery, so no one has ever been able to understand her obsession with resignation. Including He Zhi at this moment, she also didn't understand her approach, and blinked and said: "Isn't it good to return home, why do you have to resign?" Wouldn't you feel sorry for years of hard work in vain? If you insist on going home, you may be able to ask for an external transfer. ”

After all, the request for external transfer is still mixed with officialdom, there is no impermeable wall in this world, even if she can hide it for a while, it does not mean that she can hide it for a lifetime. What should I do if I marry a wife and have children? What about officialdom? Wei Lai didn't want to bother with these anymore, so she simply cut through the mess with a quick knife and strangled all the troubles here.

"Thank you Miss He for your kindness, but I don't like the rights and wrongs of officialdom, and it's great to live until I resign and go home." This is Wei Lai's answer.

He Zhi looked at her deeply when she heard this, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, but she didn't persuade her anymore. It's not that she gave up, it's just that she knows that Wei Lai's resignation may not be as simple as she thought.

The so-called knowing son is better than the father, but the one who can understand the father's mind best is nothing more than the children they have raised themselves. He Zhi knows very well that her father has already taken a fancy to General Xiao Wei, and although today's encounter seems to be a chance encounter, it can't be said that her father is behind it. And there has never been a precedent for the person or thing that Lord Shangshu has taken a fancy to.

Naturally, these words could not be said to General Xiao Wei, and He Zhi could not say them. However, seeing that the topic was strict, He Zhi also changed the topic and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have never left the capital since I was born, and I don't know what this southern town will be like?" ”

Speaking of this, Wei Lai's face dissipated, and he brought a little smile: "Naturally, it can't compare to the prosperity of the capital." However, the green mountains and green waters are not quiet. ”

This topic is indeed much more relaxed, seeing that Wei Lai's expression is soft, He Zhi asked again: "I heard that the winter in the south is also very warm, and it doesn't snow?" ”

Wei Lai shook his head and replied, "No, it's just not as big as the north." Every winter, there are a few light snowfalls, and the snowflakes fall in a hurry, but they don't accumulate at all, and it doesn't take long for them to melt. Before I went to northern Xinjiang, I never knew that snow could fall so heavily in winter. The snow is so white that people can't see it even when they stand five steps away. ”

He Zhi blinked, and there were two points of yearning in her eyes unconsciously: "Listening to you say this, the scenery of Northern Xinjiang seems to be quite unique, but it is worth seeing." It's a pity that I'm trapped in this capital and haven't been anywhere. ”

Probably because of years of conquest, Wei Lai did not have a good impression of Northern Xinjiang, so he immediately vetoed: "No, it's better not to go to that place in Northern Xinjiang." ”

"What about the small towns in the south? If I can go someday, how about you show me what you know? He Zhi asked suddenly.

Wei Lai always felt that He Zhi's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but at this moment she still nodded and responded: "Okay." ”。
